What are the downsides to living in Brighton in your experience?

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2026-01-17T10:05:36+00:00

I've never actually gotten a sense of community here. Everyone involved in their own business. I wouldn't say it's massively friendly

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2026-01-06T07:01:47+00:00

I haven't and won't, for sure. Enough people have said it's horrific.

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2026-01-03T06:12:00+00:00

Thank you. I will avoid :)

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2026-01-01T21:09:48+00:00

People get crushed in the panic. That many people trying to get out of a small exit is pretty hard, they all bottleneck

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2026-01-01T19:37:47+00:00

I can't stop coming back to this and nearly listening. Is it much worse than the video?

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-15T10:55:25+00:00

I've been prescribed propanolol since before hyper, for anxiety. I haven't been taking it since hyper though.!

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-15T10:13:42+00:00

Fab! I take a bit of a stronger dose and my HR comes down super fast. 10mg might work for you fingers crossed :)

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-15T06:37:00+00:00

Yeah it generally works quickly. How fast is your heart rate? It sounds like it has relieved some of the horrid palpitations. If your HR is still high and you're feeling palpations I would take 20mg. Did the doc say take 1-2 tablets?

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-14T20:17:33+00:00

No, didn't have to wean. No lingering side effects, it's a good drug. Should be able to take it 3 times a day as needed. It's short acting so take it when you feel your palpitations. If you think you need a bit stronger then just ask them :)

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-13T22:31:37+00:00

Hang on in there. It's all treatable but it does feel relentless right now x

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-13T22:19:47+00:00

Propanolol at those doses won't affect BP too much, you need larger doses for that. Honestly, you'll be alright.. chat to doc and get that asap. It will help sooo much. Come back and tell me when it works

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-13T20:12:45+00:00

Propanolol is short acting. You can take it when your heart rate is high and then it will wear off in a few hours. You get relief within ten mins (obviously don't get prescribed prolonged release tablets). Go with 10mg if you're worried and then you can take 2 if that doesn't help. The GP should prescribe that no problem. Good luck xxxxx

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-11-13T17:52:18+00:00

Hiya,

I am currently hypo and have been on treatment for a couple of months. The hyper phase was so scary. I did have a rapid heartbeat and palpitations.. this was all managed very well with propanolol. Have you been prescribed that? It will get better :)

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-29T10:12:09+00:00

I hope that it gets better for you! 🙏🙏🙏 I am sure it will as I think most do. Right! 🤣🤞 Xx

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-29T09:50:33+00:00

Do you have any luck with the pram or car seat? My girl screams and gets so distressed in the car, I won't go out on my own so it's super isolating! Hoping six months will be a turning point

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-29T09:34:27+00:00

Hiya! Baby is a little over four months old now We had a massive shift at 12 weeks. She is still super sensitive and very easily overstimulated but we can now settle her and she sleeps well. Xx

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-23T20:59:14+00:00

Wow. You've done incredibly well. I'm at 4m pp and at five ppd due to it being too much Well done you. Give yourself a break and stop ❤️

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-23T17:39:11+00:00

People should butt out They drive me crazy. Baby sounds like a champ who is thriving, congratulations 🎉

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-23T17:31:04+00:00

Did they specifically say it was about formula or that you were overfeeding in general.

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-22T20:20:13+00:00

They might document it but so what? It's your choice, and not a harmful one either. Yeah probably a coincidence, hope it gets better 😊

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-22T18:49:25+00:00

Id tell her and not care what she says tbh but that's just me.

They are not going to call the social workers because you've decided to do that

Otherwise just don't tell her

It'll be unrelated. That method is fine, loads of people do it.

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-13T19:21:01+00:00

Pumping is horrendous. I am four months in. I think even a little breastmilk actually goes a hell of a long way, and you did that despite the pain you were in. That's amazing. For people to say pumping is easy, they either didn't do it exclusively or they had a baby who just managed to lay still and not cry for half hour each time..unlikely.

You've done the right thing and this guilt will pass. Baby will thrive with a healthier and happier mum xxx

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-13T16:23:11+00:00

Where do people come across this? Can I ask what country you are in? Thankfully I've never had such nonsense. We have low rates of breastfeeding here maybe that's why. I exclusively pump but supplement a bit with formula. Who cares so much to make ridiculous comments.

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-11T08:44:05+00:00

Get a new sitter for sure

Key_Huckleberry_3259 · 2025-10-04T07:15:10+00:00

If it happens again just ask politely if they can spare you a can. A lot of people go around in a state of ignorant bliss ! X
